Alternities
No one knows what unwove time. Almost no one is allowed to know that it happened. Where yesterday there was a single reality called Home, there are now uncounted alternities, each seemingly on its own path to tomorrow. Only the impossible, fantastical maze that connects them offers any hope of divining the new cosmos. But for a Guard runner like Rayne Wallace, the challenge is much more concrete: survive the maze, complete the assignment, and somehow return Home alive.
